You have:
        ^(.*)@(.*)\.olddomain\.org $1@$2.newdomain.org TS


The examples suggest that:

     *@*olddomain.org $1@$2.newdomain.org TS


would be sufficient.
In particular I doubt that you need the anchoring "^".
Perhaps the extending patterns are forcing $1 to include
the opening "<", so that the matching ">" is never removed ?

This does seem like a bug though.
